    I guess I’m not gay enough to understand this meme even with this context, how does it relate to riker?

    Maybe I’m just dense though

      It’s what the non-Riker screenshot part of the meme is from.
      The meme creator saw that list of things and thought “sounds like someone I know”

        Well yes, but why does riker have lgbt significance? As far as I know both Jonathan Frakes and the character are heterosexual no?

        (Excluding the weird edge case where he fell for a female member of a species that is largely androgynous, but not completely)

          I think it was mostly just “any list of things that swerves into a trombone solo must involve Riker in some capacity”
